EMPEROR WILLIAM.

The German Kaiser in his old age
wishes to see his household put in order
that ne may die like militant King that
he is. The "Septennate " is the great
step to accomplish this and there is some
thing peculiar in the endorsement that it
receives from the Vatican, for it recalls
the old days when the church brought SUI
perstition to back the mandate OF
imperial power. 1t is known
that the last great stroke Of the
soldier Emperor has won. He will leave
legacy of war, but what the final result
will be no man can tell. Republican or
Cossack," said NapoleOn-meaning that
the French revolution foreshadowed a
great European conflict between free
government and the imperial idea.
As far as we can see, the socialistic
idea will be beaten; but just as the red
cap was beaten, the idea will be modified;
and republicanism in Europe will take
modified forms until it attains conserya-
tism, as it has done in France. In this
era of telegraphic action politics and
war act quicker, and perhaps
a great revolution will be accomplished
just in proportion to the comparative
speed between the last century and this.
1t is certain that the modern world, with
the practical lesson of this country be-
fore it, cannot stand the dogma of per-
sonal power long, anymore in the mon
archy than it will in the false ideas of
communism as represented by the Knights
of Labor

THE aoRsE-MARINEs.

General Tecumseh Sherman appears In
an interview as the typical horse-marlne'
which was thought to be athing OF myth
ical satire until this somewhat garruious
old barnacle comes out to show, in sort
of catechism dialogue, that the navy
ought TO be the Cavalry OF the Sea-
He thinks, or rather he says, that the
forts could be built in jiffy; but that
the great thing is to have the guns and
the navy.
The General has evidently heard about
how a navy rides" at anchor, and hence
his term Cavalry of the Sea" is good.
And we hope the first cruiser will be
named the "Sea Horse" or the Hippo
potamus," to illustrate the equine quality
Of the navy.
Sherman and Sheridan are generally un-
derstood by unprejudiced military critics
TO be the receivers of the lost cause, after
other men had wearied out the Confeder-
ate army by starvation and left only a
handful of soldiers to be gath
cred in by the alleged generals
who remained after the Confeder-
ate army had killed off the shall
low regulations of about twenty or more
little would-be Napoleons. In fact, the
whole eliminating idea of the close OF the
civil war was worked out by Grant on
his formula of elimination; and even II
he, backed by dozen Shermsns, had
been in front of Lee for the first two
wears, there would not have been enough
left of all of them to have advertised the
horse-marines.
All this, with respect to the memory OF
General Grant, who was patriotic man,
and had the genius to give the Southern
people an idea at Appomattox that left
the country something to effect recon
citation on.

THE UNION.

The 22d of February reminds us to recall
the words of Washington, 81 have spent
my life in your service, and now | am
almost blind" With this pathetic appeal
the mighty prophet of republicanism
drew the plan of the present union, and
made practicable what would otherwise
have been but dream.
Though Jefferson had drawn the char
ter of human liberty it could not have
been enacted but for the stupenduous
genius Of the soldier, patriot, and states
man who saw the necessity of a great
country and not mere association of
small communities. Let us not forget
that the State of Virginia has never gone
for notification even in the much-lauded
resolutions of 9S-99, and that the real cause
OF secession was the call for troops 10
scoerce State. With all the sympathy
to the cause of the Confederacy and to
the principle of home rule, for which we
fought, it is still true that we aspire to a
higher and broader citizenship now
than reconciliation. We do not
truckle to the North, but we claim our
part in the country, and we wish to
demonstrate that the Southern civilza-
ton is high, patriotic and moral, and that
as such, socially and politically, it will
prevail under the new order.
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1887-02-23

Let us state again that the principle on
which labor and capital must agree is
the labor of the workingman, the labor
and brains and skill of the manager who
carries on the concern, and proper in
terest in the capital When these three
elements are properly adjusted in their
relations everybody will receive exactly
what he is entitled to.
Mark again, that the fact that the capital
may belong to the manager does not
make any difference in these relations.
His brains must not be mistaken for
capital nor his labor either.
